Get ready to grab the rain gear

Canadian high pressure is cresting over us tonight. That means calm conditions with very dry and cool air in place. Expect many morning temps to bottom out in the 30s. Sunshine will help rebound the thermometer back to the mid 70s for Thursday and Friday. It's dry for now but some drought relief is imminent.

A pattern change for this weekend will set up a southerly flow along the east coast from a spinning jet stream over the southeast U.S.. This will bring a welcome change to our drought with a continuous 72hrs of on and off showers as a stationary front along the east coast becomes the track for a low pressure area moving northeastward along it. There's hope for a Sunday soaker, so find the rain gear that you may have misplaced.

Any precipitation will help clean the high pollen counts out of the air. They'll remain high through Friday and will likely drop to low levels during Sunday and remain there through Monday.

This evening: Thin clouds then clearing. Temps falling through the 50s.
